I had a "brown out" the other day while my computer was
on. I only dimmed for about 3 seconds, but after that I
couldn't get my browser to access the Internet. I spoke
with comcast and I was able to ping the comcast server
once and then it wouldn't ping it. COmcast was at a loss.
I spoke to CompUSA support (where I bought the machine)
and we determined it was one of three things: 1. either
the Ethernet card died during the brown out; 2. My
Firewall was blocking access; or 3. I needed to rebuild
my IP stack. I uninstalled my firewall and still nothing.
Before installing a new ethernet card I want to check my
IP stack. The technician pointed me to the MS website to
find out how to rebuild, but being a straight user (ie.
just technical enough to get myself in trouble) I am at a
loss of what to do to rebuild this. In fact I don't even
know for sure that is the problem, but I have exhausted
everything else I can think of.
Any pointers from those of you who know more than I do
would be APPRECIATED!
Thanks.
